Introduction
Although problems in conduction heat transfer in composite regions have been treated using complex variable methods and residue theory, such as in Carslaw and Jaeger (l), the first real breakthrough in solving problems of this type occurred in two classic papers of Vodicka (2, 3) in 1950 and 1955. Tittle (4) independently developed the same method in 1965. These solutions are based on a new type of orthogonality relationship. This method for solving heat conduction problems with distributed heat generation in a composite domain of k sections for plates, cylinders or spheres that are insulated on one external boundary, and exchange heat with a single time-dependent surrounding on the other external boundary, is discussed in (5). Beach (6) treated conduction heat transfer in multi-layered cylinders having simple external boundary conditions. In this paper, a much more general problem for plates, cylinders and spheres is solved. The composite media have an arbitrary initial temperature distribution, distributed sources and k - 1 discrete arbitrary, time-dependent sources located at the interfaces. The composite media are exchanging heat at their mutual external boundaries with two different arbitrary, timedependent surroundings, each having a different arbitrary, constant film coefficient through which heat is transferred. Internally, across the k - 1 interfaces, a temperature equality in each region at the interface is maintained, and the difference in heat flux in each region at the interface is equal to the discrete source strength. The solution is developed by substituting a new dependent variable which leads to a new linear partial differential equation having homogeneous boundary conditions. The solution for this derived partial differential equation is obtained using the Vodicka type of orthogonality relationship. When the discrete sources and the surroundings go to zero, the problem reduces to a Vodicka (2) type. If the discrete sources are zero and one film coefficient goes to zero, the problem reduces to a Bulavin-Kashcheev (5)

If we substitute Eq. (42) in the boundary conditions (38)-(41), we get a system of 2k linear homogeneous equations for determining the 2k integration constants Ai, and Bin. In the theory of linear homogeneous equations, this system of equations has a non-trivial solution when its determinant is equal to zero. Setting this determinant equal to zero gives the transcendental equation

and for each of these roots, there are corresponding values of Ai, and Bi, in the eigenfunctions Xin(r), i = 1,2,3, . . . . k, which can be determined to within a multiple of an arbitrary constant, and due to the form of Eq. (36) and a following normalization process, the solution is unaffected by the value of this constant, and with complete generality, it can be replaced by the number 1 (one), and Xin(r), i = 1,2,3, . . . . k, is then completely specified.* The functions Xim(r) and Xin(r), ri 6 r < T{+~,i = 1,2,3, . . . , k, m, n integers, are orthogonal in the domain [rr, rk+J.

The solution Yi(r, t) gives the temperature distribution in any of the k plates, cylinders or spheres that are solidly joined at the k- 1 interfaces. The composite media (plates, cylinders or spheres) have distributed sources, and k - 1 discrete, time-dependent sources located at the interfaces. Additionally, the composite media have an arbitrary initial temperature distribution and are also subject to exchanging heat at their mutual external boundaries with two arbitrary, time-dependent surroundings through two arbitrary, constantfilm coefficients.
